It Finally Feels Like Summer!

We went to the pool today. We've been jonesing all month to go, and today we were determined not to let lost wallets, storm clouds, or missed naps stop us. We tried a new place, which we really liked. They have a zero-depth pool, an infant pool area, a water playground, a lawn for picnics, and even a giant water slide for older kids. Very cool. Emma was in heaven from the moment we arrived. Sophie tolerated the water when she was in my arms, but the minute I gave her to Emma she wasn't so happy.

Emma is a bit afraid of sprinklers, so even though they had this really cool jungle gym thingie right there in the middle of the pool, she could only be coaxed up to the second step.

Our friends Gen and Sam joined us, and the kids had a great time rollicking together in the water.

We will definitely be spending a LOT of time at the pool this summer. Not only did we have fun, but apparently we need to cram in all the kid stuff we can before November hits - Emma informed me this morning that by Thanksgiving she will be an "add-dult." Hopefully before she reaches drinking age, she'll muster up the courage to tackle the playground's third step.
